For almost 2 weeks which started last August 1, 2013, I will be mostly at the Mall of Asia Arena taking photos of the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship from August 1 to 11, 2013 and go to the concert of my favorite band, Linkin Park on August 13, 2013.

Since 2009, I started following our Philippine National Basketball Team, Smart Gilas now called Gilas Pilipinas, I created a site smartgilaspilipinas.com where I post my photos of Gilas since 2011. It has been my dream since 2011 to shoot the FIBA Asia Championship and now I am glad I am here to support Gilas Pilipinas in this capacity.

In 2004, I bought my first front-row concert tickets using my own money to watch Linkin Park at the CCP Grounds. It was an amazing performance by Linkin Park and after the concert, I started thinking about blogging, my first blog post was about the Linkin Park Live in Manila 2004. And after 9 years, Linkin Park is back in Manila this time at the Mall of Asia Arena. I started Philippine Concerts in 2010 because I wanted to take photos of my favorite bands, but now it has become more than what I originally had in mind and hopefully I get the chance to shoot Linkin Park this August 13.

Sometimes it is the simple things that makes us happy:) Mababaw lang kaligayan ko, Nicki Minaj through her twitter account, retweeted and replied to my photo of the crowd at the SM MOA Arena during the Nicki Minaj concert last night!

I used to work in US Auto Parts Network as a Development Lead for around 3 years, it was nice to be back and saw familiar faces I used to work with. But this time, I came back for a talk about Sports Photography since they will be having their sportsfest next week.

Thank you to everyone who came and I hope you learned something from my presentation.
